General Comments - The Cottage at Hay is a very attractive traditional cottage located in a quiet rural position within Hay which is a quiet rural community on the outskirts of Coombe. The cottage is located at the end of a long drive and whilst it does have neighbours the cottage and grounds are very private and the gated front driveway provides plenty of parking and turning. The house itself has been transformed by the current owners who purchased the property in a dilapidated state at public auction approximately twenty years ago. They immediately set to work and completely refurbished and extended the property to a very high standard, carefully retaining much of the original charm and character. At this time, the cottage had new wiring and plumbing as well as oil fired central heating system installed and replacement windows. Period features include a fabulous stone fireplace, deep window reveals in the sitting room and exposed beams. A large extension was added at the rear creating a dining room with views over the rear garden.

There are many useful outbuildings which have further potential and a large enclosed level garden is ideal for keen gardeners. The accommodation includes; three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor with kitchen, dining room, cloakroom and large sitting room downstairs. An internal viewing is absolutely essential.
